The Ritz-Carlton Bacara, Santa Barbara

23 Best Luxury Family Resorts in the US and Caribbean | Condé Nast Traveler

"To commemorate its 25th anniversary the property debuted a multi-million dollar renovation that refreshed the lobby, pool, guest rooms, and communal spaces with natural materials, terracotta furnishings, and Spanish tiles that evoke California coastal charm; the kids club offers seasonal nature hikes and surfing alongside classic Ritz-Carlton programming like hands-on cooking classes, arts and crafts, and destination-themed activity books, and nearby family outings include the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden, the Arts District, and Barbara Beach Club." - Nina Kokotas Hahn
